| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the ability to deliver a crafted record to the PEAK-System PCAN parser on a host where the affected PEAK-System Device Driver Setup or PCAN Windows CAN device drivers are installed; the triggering condition is a record whose DLC field is greater than 0x0f, which bypasses the missing DLC <= 0x0f bound check and drives an out-of-bounds length-table index and overflow of the fixed-size stack destination copied from record+0x1c. Limiting factors per the CVSS vector: the attack is LOCAL (AV:L), requires low privileges on the host (PR:L), and needs no user interaction (UI:N); it does not expose data (C:N) but can corrupt integrity and availability (I:H/A:H). Realistic risk is therefore bounded to attackers who already have local low-privileged execution on a system with these drivers installed. |
| Impact | This is a genuine memory-corruption flaw (CWE-129 improper array index validation leading to a stack buffer overflow): the PCAN parser uses an attacker-controlled DLC to index a length table without enforcing DLC <= 0x0f, then copies payload from record+0x1c into a fixed-size stack destination. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H, score 7.1) signals a LOCAL, low-complexity, low-privilege attack with high integrity and availability impact but NO confidentiality impact - consistent with a write-based stack overflow rather than data leakage. No EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public POC is referenced, so exploitation status is: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The signals are internally consistent (local vector matches a driver/parser that processes records on the host; C:N matches a non-disclosure overflow), so this is a real but local-scope priority rather than an internet-wide emergency. CONFLICT TO NOTE: the input Tags include 'Information Disclosure', which contradicts the CVSS (C:N, no confidentiality impact) and the overflow mechanism - treat the tag as likely mislabeled. Because the vector is AV:L and requires PR:L, real-world risk is bounded by the need for prior local low-privileged access to the affected host. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A local, low-privileged attacker on a Windows host running the PEAK-System/PCAN CAN drivers supplies a crafted record whose DLC field exceeds 0x0f. The parser indexes its length table with the oversized DLC and copies the attacker payload from record+0x1c into a fixed-size stack buffer, overflowing it and corrupting the stack to crash the driver or potentially alter control flow. No public exploit code is referenced, and exploitation requires local access rather than a remote/network path. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Memory corruption in the PEAK-System PCAN Windows CAN device drivers allows local low-privileged attackers to overflow a fixed-size stack buffer by delivering a crafted record whose DLC field exceeds 0x0f, which the parser uses unchecked to index a length table before copying attacker-controlled data from record+0x1c. Exploitation gives high integrity and availability impact (arbitrary stack memory corruption, likely crash or controlled writes) but no confidentiality impact, and it requires local access with low privileges and no user interaction. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data; consult CISA ICS Advisory ICSA-26-293-01 (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-293-01), the HMS Networks cybersecurity page (https://www.hms-networks.com/cybersecurity), and the PEAK-System downloads page (https://www.peak-system.com/support/downloads/software/) to obtain the current fixed driver release and verify the applicable version before upgrading. Until a patched driver is confirmed installed, reduce exposure by treating the host as a low-privilege boundary: remove or disable the PEAK-System PCAN driver packages on systems that do not require CAN connectivity, and restrict interactive logon and local process execution on hosts that do (trade-off: reduced operational flexibility and loss of CAN tooling on those endpoints). Where CAN connectivity is required, limit the ability to deliver crafted records by isolating the CAN segment and the local processes permitted to submit records to the driver, and monitor for driver crashes or unexpected stack-corruption symptoms (trade-off: added network segmentation and application allow-listing effort). Because the attack is local and requires low privileges, standard privilege management and host hardening reduce but do not eliminate risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected components are the PEAK-System Device Driver Setup and PCAN Windows CAN device drivers distributed by HMS Networks, which parse CAN/CAN-FD record structures on the host. In CAN, the Data Length Code (DLC) is a 4-bit field normally constrained to 0x0f; the parser uses this attacker-controlled value directly to index a length table without enforcing DLC <= 0x0f (CWE-129, improper validation of array index). The out-of-bounds table lookup produces a copy length that is then used to move payload bytes from record+0x1c into a fixed-size stack destination, causing a stack-based buffer overflow. Because the flaw is reachable through crafted records processed by the driver, the assessed vector is local (AV:L), low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), with high integrity and availability impact (I:H/A:H) and no confidentiality impact (C:N); the CPE entries cover the PCAN Windows CAN device drivers and the PEAK-System device driver setup package, with no specific version ranges enumerated in the provided data.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The PEAK-System PCAN parser indexes a length table using attacker-controlled DLC without enforcing DLC <= 0x0f, then copies attacker payload from record+0x1c into a fixed-size stack destination.
Executive ViewAI
PEAK-System PCAN Windows CAN device drivers contain a high-severity stack memory corruption issue that a local low-privileged user can trigger with a crafted CAN record, potentially causing crashes or controlled memory writes on affected Windows systems. Leadership should care because engineering, test, and OT-adjacent workstations with CAN hardware may face integrity and availability disruption, and no vendor patch is currently available; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; enforce least privilege, restrict local access to CAN-connected workstations, remove or disable PCAN drivers on nonessential hosts, use application allowlisting, isolate engineering and test environments, monitor for driver crashes, and request vendor mitigation guidance.
